The Walking Dead

[Stray Cat]

Season 5 just started last Sunday and I'm still as excited as ever.  Does anyone else here watch the show?

[nohman]

I used to. I got tired of it during season 3, but stuck around for some of season 4. The writing is spotty and the show seems to primarily create drama by just having people do stupid things they should know better doing. I know people complain about season 1, but I honestly think that was my favorite among the lot.

I watched a few episodes in season one. I'd be lying if I said I liked it :L I don't get why it's so hyped.

I admit I never watched the show; I've read the first omnibus of the comic and I'll say I liked most of it. The thing is by the time I finished it I felt I'd reached a good enough stopping point and wasn't interested in reading anymore (especially since all the characters I liked were dead at that point). I asked a few people I knew read the series and they said I'd pretty much read its high point and from what I've read on wikipedia it looks like I was right. Seeing as the show's still covering the part I've read I should ask, is it worth watching even if I've read the comic already?

Didn't enjoy the show or the comics. Love the game though.

 

I hardly ever say this, but the game contains by far the best writing in the "Walking Dead" Universe (imo).

I consistently enjoy it, even though Season 2 was a mess of shizzle not happening. It seems like a major concern is how they extend episodes so much (mid-season finale and then hiatus, wtf), but I won't criticize anybody who doesn't like it nonetheless.

 

Season 5 premiere

Carol appears to have gone from one of my least-favorite characters to one of my favorite. This probably occurred around the time of Season 3 because of her daughter dying, but I didn't quite notice her development until now.

Never watched it. What I have seen was a video discussion about it that may or may not be relevant here, though.

Here's another related video by Screen Junkies, done in good fun:

Naturally, it's full of spoilers.

Agreed, I loved the prison arc so I'm interested to see where this season goes. 

 

This is how I view Carol now.

Rick is probably still my favorite character though (now that Hershel is gone  ), because you know, jugular bites.

Loved it when it first came out. Read everything up to Negan. After season 3, dropped it due to boredom. I wonder how popular it still is these days.

 

I'm in the Japanese entertainment phase right now and anything non-Japanese on TV right now bores me.

Just saw this on reddit. The Walking Dead intro recut with drunk people:

Was not disappointed this week. 

 

Delicious leg meat is delicious.

In response to the most recent episode, I must say, The Walking Dead is very good at making me despise some characters.
